Every Experience In Life Is Designed To

Our Deeds Are Not The Basis Of Our Salvation, They Are The Evidence Of Our Salvation. They Are Not Foundation, They Are Demonstration.

If You Can't See The Sun You Will Be Impressed With A Street Light. If You've Never Felt Thunder And Lightning You'll Be Impressed With Fireworks. And If You Turn Your Back On The Greatness And Majesty Of God You'll Fall In Love With A World Of Shadows And Short-lived Pleasures.

The Suffering Of Sickness And The Suffering Of Persecution Have This In Common: They Are Both Intended By Satan For The Destruction Of Our Faith, And Governed By God For The Purifying Of Our Faith... Christ Sovereignly Accomplishes His Loving, Purifying Purpose, By Overruling Satan's Destructive Attempts. Satan Is Always Aiming To Destroy Our Faith; But Christ Magnifies His Power In Weakness.

You Don't Give God Authority Over Your Life. He Has It, Totally.

We Do Not Choose Suffering Simply Because We Are Told To, But Because The One Who Tells Us To Describes It As The Path To Everlasting Joy.
